limp mode is short for "limp home" mode... it lets the car run under what it percieves to be VERY bad conditions...

Generally it's when the shit hits the fan...

A secondary o2 shouldn't send you to limp... but it will make the car not run as well...

The car's fueling is dependant on the readings from both o2 sensors... if you remove the cat w/o somehow reprogramming the values it's looking for then it's going to run off of the maps which will make the car run crappier than it would with the sensors working... which most likely negate any power gained by the straight pipe.

You could get a simulator/emulator as mentioned...

I'd do some research on H-T and try to figure out what other people have done and DEFINATELY works unless you feel like experimenting with your car.
